Michters Us 1 Small Batch Sour Mash Whiskey

The privilege smell smooth all the way !

Not my preferred bourbon ever but rather not awful either. Very straightforward with fundamentally nothing perplexing or astonishing. Nose: Great whiskey nose with overwhelming vanilla earthy colored sugar orange strip light oak and some lush notes. Only a trace of poached apple out of sight. Flavor: youthful tasting with progressively vanilla caramel and somewhat more ethanol punch than I'd like given the low verification. The predominant flavor is sugar coated orange strip. Thin and watery. I figure this would have profited essentially from a higher verification as it feels like there are progressively mind boggling notes stowing away out of sight that I can't select. It has only a trace of mint poached apple heating zest and scarcely a murmur of an oat note. The main thing that truly troubled me is this is excessively sweet. Finish: short with some cruel severe wood notes and more pleasantness and only a smidgen of hot zest. Gets done with a low level ginger flavor that waits for a piece and afterward vanishes simply leaving a saccharine covering in the mouth. I needed to like this more. I didn't abhor it however. It's a simple consumer that isn't mind boggling however I have an inclination that it would be essentially improved by some additional time maturing in the barrel and being packaged more like 100 proof rather than 86. Truly it helps me a little to remember Tennessee bourbons I've attempted before.
